Hi everyone, I apologize, it has been very long since i last update!

Zedian is 16months now. Time certainly flies very fast. He is going to PG now (playgroup), I am so excited as he can learn more things rather than be in the infant care and watch the babies cry. Anyway Zedian has been a very good brother in school, he helps the babies to pick up their pacifiers and put it back into their mouth for them when they drop. He helps the teachers by taking stuffs that they need. However, i have convinced myself that infant care shouldn't be the place for him right now. Although he can't talk alot, he can certainly understand everything and anything we says! If he wants water he will sign for drink, if he wants biscuit he will sign for biscuit. And when he meet strangers in lift, he will smile and say bye bye to them.

The words that he knows how to say right now:
Daddy
MaMa
PaPa
YeYe
JieJie
Milk Milk
Bo Bo (motorcycle)
Bus
Jit Jit (dirty)
Pom Pom ( bathe)
Bur Bur ( porridge)
Yao ( yes in chinese)
For no... he just shakes his head, haha
Bowl
ball
bird
mum mum

I am very upset to hear about things regarding his current childcare, my heart just hurt alot and i really feel very upset that i don't have enough time to spent with him and teach him.. Since March holidays are coming, I have decided to use this whole month to teach him at home instead of sending him to school.. I really want to teach him more. Zedian knows how to throw tantrum now adays. If we were at home I will put him at his green stool for time out. It means that he has to sit in the chair until he has calm down. I really don't want to spoil him by giving in to him whenever he cries. That's just not right to do. It's very hard to share these concepts with my mum who is so old fashion. But still i am trying my best. And since Zedian is 6 months old, I have decided that i will not scold or beat him for any wrong things he do. If he do sometime wrong, I would say very firmly No, you are not suppose to do this and place him on the timeout chair. And i feel that letting him learn by consequences is much more effective than scolding and beating because it doesn't work!

I have always spent more on Zedian food. Alot of people ask me why should i let my son eat organic food. Well, do you know during the first three years of a child, they can actually absorb maximum nutrition than adults? And they should eat whole grain because it has lots of vitamins and nutrition than white rice! Why feed something that has no nutrients in it to your children?

I really felt very angry when Zedian's teachers feed Zedian UNHEALTHY foods like pandan cake, leftover foods from the playgroup. I don't even eat pandan cake because there is nothing nutritious about it so why should i feed it to Zedian? Moreover the teachers. I am having a sense of grudge to the childcare for some reasons. And as of today I have requested Zedian to be withdraw from the centre from end of this month. And I have to pay extra $300 to the centre because of the 1 month withdraw policy. Well, it's true that they sees money more important than the children. So I will just give them, I really don't want Zedian to suffer in there anymore. Zedian's favorite teach has left the centre and I feel very upset. I am worried that Zedian will not be fed properly! Oh gosh... I am so demanding. It can't help, he is my precious lil baby!
